Room was clean and very cozy, great during the colder months. Staff were awesome and the cooked breakfast was a great start to the day. Would definitely recommend staying here. Secure car park is about a 2 min walk from the property no issue for us but something to keep in mind.

Short break to the Lakes

A great guest house in the heart of Ambleside with secure parking a two minute walk away. Room was excellent, very well decorated ad fitted out. ON-suite was good and the shower was super powerful. Tracey and Kevin were great, super friendly and breakfasst was top notch, loved the big fat cumberland sausage and the poached eggs were excellent. Would highly reccomend.

Lovely B&B, beautifully appointed and perfectly located. The owners are really friendly, and the breakfast excellent. The bonus of off-site parking was ideal as parking in Ambleside is understandably difficult. Highly recommended.
